Cheat mode???

At egscomics 

Commentary

This is me playing BioWare games.

I'm almost universally disappointed when combat happens, I just want to get back to talking to characters. I don't want to manage an inventory, I've no idea how to level up my characters in an optimiz...

Slightly tangential

At egscomics 

Commentary

They do look similar, and some people genuinely can't help having trouble with faces.

But I hope pointing out pointy bangs for Diane can help.

And triangles.

Lots of triangles.

As a personal favor, please don't...

Tedd Trying

At egscomics 

Commentary

I was asked what would make such things in games okay for me personally, and thinking on it?

Make it optional.

Solves both the "awkward if someone walks into the room" and "I'd like to share screenshots" option.

Dan's Choice - Quadruple Honk

Several people mistook Sarah for Diane in a recent EGSNP.

I decided to address that in the only way I know how.

I honestly wasn't sure exactly what was going to be behind them when I drew them, but sure. Four-Headed Phoenix Hydra Goose. Why not.

I had imagined the tights as being slightly see-through white, but I didn't like the results I got with that (looked more like an odd...

Tentatively Moving Milestone Images to Tuesday

Much of the next milestone image is done, but I've been sick, and I think it would be bad if I stayed up to finish it, and I want to make sure I get Mondays' story comic done tomorrow.

Given what I have planned for Tuesday's EGSNP and the amount already done, I see no issue with getting both done for Tuesday unless I start to feel worse.

If I do feel worse, I will try to be honest t...

The Most Shocking of All Reveals

At egscomics 

Commentary

To be fair, there's not a whole lot of context I've seen it in. When I have seen it, however, it has been in contexts that I don't even want to repeat here, because NO.

No thank you.

Sunday's Milestone Image

I still intend to have a new Milestone Image on Sunday, but after being unwell for a couple of days, there won't be early access to it on Saturday.

This is mostly because I expect to finish it on Saturday, and I've yet to work out time travel. I've managed to feel like I've gone back a minute or two, but that might just be a deja vu thing.

Not Nanase

A tall scientist has transformed into the form of Nanase!

He was trying to make a better bubble gum.

I'm not sure how he managed this.

The goose is loose!

I planned this at the same time I planned the previous comic, so the reality is that this isn't based on anyone clamoring for a goose form.

I mean, maybe that happened somewhere with some people? I mostly saw discussions about h...

I could take MASSIVE OFFENSE to people doubting my extensive goose-knowledge, but I will instead celebrate that I got to make what I think is a good comic with only one drawing of Tedd, AND the idea for the NEXT comic. HUZZAH!

I'm not entirely sure how I wound up on the goose outfit, but there it is.

Weekly Saturday Milestone Images Starting Sunday, July 11th

I had intended to start this tomorrow, and said as much in the end of month polls, but I've realized I am going to crash and burn if I do that.

I apologize for having said that, but the ball will get rolling on Sunday the 11th with a milestone image I'm already far along with (with early access on the 10th for some patrons).

The plan then is one or two depending on how many are done...

Turtle options.

I hadn't planned on a bunch of extra dialogue in the first panel, but it occurred to me that Tedd's statement about technical difficulty might not make sense without prior experience trying to work with such things (it only makes sense to...

Intent is not a prerequisite for rudeness. I'm not saying it doesn't matter or anything, just that you can be rude by accident, and I can understand not liking the whole "let's have slowness happen via magic weight gain" thing.

I imagine this could be VERY technically demanding depending on the character creation systems at play and how the whole system works.

In Skyrim, for example, there's just a weight slider. You might say "I remember more character ...

Form Acquisition

I didn't intend to reference an ability from My Hero Academia, so to get ahead of an expected question, no. That wasn't intentional.

I did realize it by the time I finished writing the commentary that follows, however.

FASHION!

Commentary

If a settlement is concerned about raiders, and I walk up all dressed like a raider, the settlers should be all like "OH CARP A RAIDER", not "oh thank goodness it's the protagonist we could really use your help".

Or, you know, "you look like a dang clown. We'll wait for the next protagonist."

It's all very contextual.

Pros and cons.

Commentary

Skyrim basically has that first one if you count becoming a Werewolf, though it's only really a boost in strength and the like if you started out weak with not great armor.

Granted, if you're a wizard, that probably should be a boost in strength and the like. It's just that being a werewolf is just a thing anyone who plays can do, so it's n...

Details, details!

Commentary

Diane doesn't like mental manipulation magic, but she still seemed like the best choice for panel three. She's like a chef who hates sweets but makes excellent desserts.

I see transformation abilities as a "jack of all trades, master of none" sort of thing, at least as presented here. The transformation wizard can effectively dip into both mental...

It's a frenzy!

This is quite the departure in art style, I know, but I think these particular scenarios are more amusing (and less disturbing) if presented with simplistic generic characters who all look the same.

EDIT - I forgot Diane-a-chu's rosy cheeks! In case anyone prefers the original without the cheek spots, both versions are attached below ("correct" version has rosy in the name).

EDIT 2 - Actually, there were several Diane mistakes. Wow. My apologies! Corrected in "rosy" version.

So evil (not sarcasm!)

Morphing for profit

At egscomics

I like the idea in panel two IN THEORY, at least. The way I'd run between shops in some games makes me think I'd get sick of morphing in unique ways before entering every store. I do like the idea of benefiting from knowing things uni...

This isn't a deal breaker for me, but it always bums me out.
